a tendril of red dust
shifts from a footfall

    A very hopeful image of nature on another world -- but isn't "red dust" a spring kigo for Mars? Well done!

    Thanks for the comment, and yes, there was certainly a spring in the footfall! ;-)

    alan, focusing on both (springs) landed my thoughts closer to earth; the moon, though less colorful, but springier. what an extreme contrast between that arid red planet and the palette-world we take delight in, specially come spring.
